O.K., this is not the right thread, but since it is about the Portuguese presidentials, I'm putting it here (so, moderators, punish me
).
Last night it was shown a special program about these 10 years of Sampaio as President. It was kind of a "back stage" about some of the episodes he has passed throw.
And there we were told about a dinner that took place last October in the Portuguese Embassy of Madrid. Sampaio invited King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and all the major figures of the Spanish politics for a farewell dinner (mind it was in October, in the very heat about the Catalonian Satute and it gather all the major politics... quite the improbable meeting!). So, it was very discreet and nobody knew about it in the press (nor did we notice it here).
It showed the backstages of that dinner, like preparing the tables, the arriving of the guests and their greetings to Sampaio and Maria José Ritta, the cocktail, the guests chatting and enjoying a good time, etc. Queen Sofia was elegant, as always, dressed in full black and the King was funny, as always too, joking with the other guests
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about it, since nobody knew about it, until now.
